Depending on where you are on your Data Viz journey, I'd probably start with Dona Wong or Cole Knaflic, then Andy Kirk, then Kopenen & Hildén (once I've read K&H I might swap the last two around)

Cairo's books are nice interlude and Few's is quite heavy weight (in both senses) though useful for dashboard design
